In the lead up to Cisco Live in Las Vegas, I was reviewing my schedule when I realized just how deep the relationship between Veeam and Cisco has become.

So many things are happening on so many different fronts, it’s really quite impressive especially given the current age of “coopetition”. In Cisco, Veeam truly has a joint partner on so many levels.

Let me recap some of the good things with Cisco and Veeam together.

Have you had a chance to evaluate the new VMware storage technologies? VMware Virtual Volumes (VVOLs) and Virtual SAN (VSAN) are incredible innovations in vSphere 6.0 storage technologies. However, it is still a burden to back up the infrastructure and restore it if things do not go as planned. However, worry not—when it comes to Availability, Veeam has you covered! Let’s look at a few areas where VVOL and VSAN Availability can be easier than you think with Veeam.

In the previous posts of this short series, we announced the availability of Veeam Agent for Linux Beta and gave everyone a few quick tips on how to start using it. We showed how easy it is to work with the graphical user interface (GUI) in order to back up and restore files and volumes, but no program would be a true Linux solution without complete support for the command line.

Today, we’ll see how to operate Veeam Agent for Linux from the shell!

In the previous posts of this short series, we announced the immediate availability of Veeam Agent for Linux and showed everyone how to install the software and create the first backup. But obviously the final goal of every backup is to do a restore, and this is the topic of today’s post.

In the previous post of this short series, we announced the immediate availability of Veeam Agent for Linux and gave everyone a few quick tips on how to start using it. The installed command line has some nice inline help that’s easy to follow, but we decided to give you even more information with this short blog series. Today, we’ll talk about backups!

Keeping applications and data available 24.7.365 is not an easy task. The estimated average annual cost of downtime to an enterprise can be up to $16 million, and that cost continues to increase. As we move further into the age of digital transformation, it has become even more critical for CIOs to simplify their operations, meet or exceed organizational SLAs for Availability, and establish close alignments between their virtual infrastructure capabilities and data-protection product capabilities.

We believe a symbiotic relationship exists between VMware's ESXi deployments and Veeam Availability solutions. Because Veeam wanted to further understand and demonstrate the impact and benefits experienced by our customers who were also VMware users, we engaged IDC ... Read more

At Veeam, we all love virtualization and truly believe that modern data centers should be virtualized to guarantee the highest degree of Availability. However, the reality is that not every workload is virtualized. Some workloads cannot be reached through the hypervisors they run on even when they are virtualized, like in public cloud environments.his is one of the reasons Veeam Endpoint Backup FREE has seen such tremendous success since its initial launch in 2015. Now, that’s just one side of the story – especially when you consider that in public cloud the vast majority of deployed virtual machines (VMs) are running one of the many flavors of Linux.

Today’s businesses are becoming increasingly digital and moving more operations to the cloud. As a result, Availability and reliability are top priorities. Many organizations automatically back up their data and applications, but they realize that backing up is insufficient protection against catastrophic loss. For example, backup recovery points might be as many as 24 hours apart, meaning a business could lose an entire day of data. In addition, recovery is often limited to data restoration. Applications and VMs still need to be reconstructed manually, further delaying recovery.

Veeam Backup & Replication added support for VMware vCloud Director back in the v7 release. It was an immediate success for many service providers because they were finally able to properly protect native vCloud components like Organizations and vApps, instead of relying on operations happening at the underlying vSphere level where no information about vCloud constructs could be saved and restored.
